Food

1/ Beyond the Horizon

Refinement lies in restraint. The simple essence is revealed without excess.

Basic ingredients, an uncomplicated process, and timeless methods combine. Allowing the essential flavours to shine through.

Toasties offer a nostalgic warmth, redefined through variations such as kimchi toasties, balancing familiarity with modern flavours.

Non-alcoholic celebrations, a shift in ritual rather than in spirit. The focus is on the connection, the experience, and the moment itself.

The luxury of something essential. The purity of ingredients having its own kind of luxury such as butter.

2/ Roots of Renwal

Coffee and chocolate replacements such as roasted grains or cacao-like carob, an alternative that supports regenerative farming. 

Primitive food evokes a return to raw, unprocessed foods. 

The perpetual stew symbolizes continuity, a dish that evolves with time, representing sustainability and the cyclical nature of life.

The simplicity of grains, offering sustenance in its purest, most elemental form.

From calcium in our bones to magnesium for muscle function, minerals are not only vital for physical health but also for mental clarity, energy production, and the body’s ability to repair itself.

3/ A New Kind of Freedom

Punk health, the pairing of a vice with a healthy ingredient. Squeezing healthy habits into the day to make up for other less healthy habits.

Exaggerated presentations, such as extravagant multi-layered cakes or foods served in playful, unconventional ways. 

Bold and unconventional pairings such as burnt citrus with umami-rich miso or floral notes in savoury dishes, challenging the palate and creating entirely new taste experiences.

Comfort foods from childhood or previous decades resurface with a twist, evoking deep memories or stories.

Forgotten recipes and culinary techniques are revived, bringing back the romance of slow, handcrafted cooking.

4/ The Power of One

Technology guides people’s food choices, from personalized nutrition to supply chain optimization. Consumption and wellbeing are monitored by advanced systems.

The sensory experience of food, its taste, smell, and texture, is enhanced, deepening the connection between people and their food experience.  Transforming eating from a basic need into an abstract experience, blending innovation with the human elements.

Through AI sustainability in food production can be used to reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact. 

Technology helps us to understand where our food comes from and the stories behind it, making us feel more connected to our food.
